The Trail Steward for DRP has marked a loop of trails with wooden stakes painted at the top with fluorescent pink. The “pink loop” trails are a combination of green (easy) and blue (moderate) ranked trails to loop from the parking lot trail entrance and back. It may be utilized counterclockwise or clockwise.

The counterclockwise route utilizes Kaleidoscope which is a great start for new riders. From there the newly EXTENDED Big Easy may be used to the upper grass fields. There is even a “Big Easy Out” that allows you to bale out on the ascent by taking the easy out that will pop out to Gully leading back down to Kaleidoscope.

The main intention is to provide riders who are new to the park the opportunity to get a full view of most trail intersections throughout the park while following a marked loop, knowing they will always make it home if they follow the pink stakes.

Keep an eye out for fluorescent yellow painted stakes that will be loop trails starting and returning to the pink loop. They will descend and ascend blue (moderate) and black (difficult) trails to provide more experienced riders a challenging view of the parks other trails all connecting back to the pink loop to lead you out when needed.

Beginner and intermediate users will enjoy the yellow and purple trails, which wind along the hillside.

A panorama, changing with every season is the Northeast. From the "Look Out" can view the Bristol Hills. The new Black trail takes more advanced riders on a long winding descent into the rocky terrain, with a slow climb back up to park level.

Typical Trail Conditions & Restrictions

Access to the trail system during early spring is not possible due to the flooding of Mud Creek during peak snow melt.  During this period of time, much of the trail system becomes waterlogged and is not rideable until early or mid May.

The DEC requests that riders stay off the trails during hunting seasons.  Visit the DEC’s website for the hunting season calendar.

Trail Stewardship

Working with the DEC, GROC is leading trail stewardship activities at the Stid Hill WMA.  In 2023, the DEC approved more than a mile of new trail.  This new section of trail features creek crossings, boulder fields and natural rock gardens.

Please be aware: Wild parsnip has been found growing at the trailhead at the North Entrance on Route 64. It can create a skin reaction similar to poison ivy.  The sap reacts with sun light to create blisters.  It is recommended that users stay on the trail and learn how to identify wild parsnip [https://nyis.info/invasive_species/wild-parsnip/].  Gloves and long sleeves are recommended for trail work.  Weed wacker or string trimmers are not recommended as they will spray the sap onto the operator.  Wild parsnip has a yellow flower that will likely appear mid summer and a stem that looks similar to celery.

Get Involved

Please check the event calendar for our scheduled digs.  If you would like to get involved, please contact the Stid Hill stewardship team.
